Cyrano

James McAvoy (X-MenAtonement) returns to the stage in an inventive new adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac. Fierce with a pen and notorious in combat, Cyrano almost has it all—if only he could win the heart of his true love, Roxane. There’s just one big problem: He has a nose as huge as his heart.

Edmond Rostand’s masterwork is adapted by Martin Crimp and directed by Jamie Lloyd (Betrayal).
